Five Star Gift Ideas

For your mom who is passionate about upcycling and repurposing, there are many thoughtful and creative gift ideas that will be perfect for her. Here are a few suggestions:

1. DIY Craft Kit: Put together a DIY craft kit with items that she can repurpose and upcycle. Include things like old mason jars, wine corks, scrap fabrics, buttons, and other unique materials that she can use to create beautiful crafts and homeware. Add in a thoughtful note suggesting some project ideas to get her started.

2. Repurposed Jewelry: Look for jewelry made from repurposed materials, such as necklaces made from recycled glass or earrings made from upcycled vintage buttons. These unique pieces of jewelry will not only be meaningful to your mom, but they will also support sustainable practices.

3. Upcycled Home Decor: Give your mom a decorative piece for her home that has been upcycled. For example, search for unique lamps made from repurposed vintage items, like a lamp made from a retro camera or a repainted old ladder transformed into a stylish bookshelf. These one-of-a-kind pieces will add character to her living space and showcase her love for repurposing.

4. Upcycling Classes or Workshop: If your mom enjoys expanding her skills, consider gifting her a voucher for an upcycling class or workshop. There are many places that offer courses on repurposing furniture, creating art from reclaimed materials, or even learning how to make jewelry from upcycled materials. This gift will not only give her a chance to learn something new but also connect with others who share her passion.

5. Subscription to a DIY Magazine or Online Platform: Help inspire your mom's upcycling projects by subscribing her to a DIY magazine or an online upcycling platform. These subscriptions will provide her with a steady stream of creative ideas, tips, and tutorials, keeping her inspired throughout the year.

6. Personalized Upcycled Gift: Consider commissioning a local artist or craftsman to create a personalized gift that incorporates your mom's favorite repurposed materials. It could be a unique piece of artwork made from salvaged wood or a customized piece of furniture using reclaimed materials. This gift will not only be meaningful but also support local artisans and sustainable practices.

Remember, the most important thing is to show your mom that you embrace her passion for upcycling and appreciate her creative spirit. By choosing a gift that aligns with her interests, you are sure to make her birthday memorable and truly special.

Or you can get her a star map with the date when she was born.

“I made a map for my mums birthday and she absolutely loved it. Definitely buying another one soon, probably for another family member or friend”
